An outburst
In front of the Tower of Yue.
Whether it was Cold Steel Pillar, the Vice Dean of Nebula Academy, Tang Weiguo, or the many students, everyone's gaze shifted towards the eighth floor of the Tower of Yuzu.
For many years, no one had been able to reach the eighth floor of the Tower of Ascension.
If someone managed to ascend to the eighth floor of the Tower of Yuzu today, it would be a great event for Nebula Academy and even the Thousand Leaf Empire.
Grandmaster Xing Yun had once said that any martial artist who could ascend to the eighth level of the Tower of Ascension would have even greater attainments in alchemy than him.
Therefore, every once in a while, genius alchemists would come to challenge the Tower of Transcendence on the vast Dan Cheng Mainland.
In front of the Tower of Yue, the crowd held their breaths and did not speak.
However, this silence lasted for half an hour before it was finally broken by a scream.
"Look, the eighth level of the Transcendence Pagoda … seems to have lit up!"
Huala!
When these words rang out, all the students in the area went into an uproar.
This was because no matter if it was Ning Yue or Yao Qiong, as long as they could reach the eighth floor of the Tower of Yuzun, it would be a terrifying thing.
"It's really over. Looks like Yao Qiong has ascended to the eighth level of the Tower of Yuzun."
"Although I think more highly of that kid, I think that Yao Qiong has indeed entered the eighth level of the Tower of Yuzu first."
"I think so too. That kid's soul power is rather weak. Reaching the seventh level is already his limit."
By now, some of the students who had originally supported Ning Yue had switched sides and supported Yao Qiong.
After all, entering the eighth level of the Tower of Yuzun was a kind of glory. To Nebula Academy, it was an indispensable glory.
If this glory was obtained by someone else, it would be a devastating blow to the reputation of Nebula Academy.
"Have we reached the eighth floor?"
While almost everyone supported Yao Qiong, there were two cultivators who held a different opinion.
Or rather, these two martial artists were very sure that the one who entered the eighth level of the Pagoda of Yue was not Yao Qiong, but Ning Yue!
Tang Weiguo, Hu Qiang!
Of the two of them, one was the Vice Principal of Nebula Academy, and the other was an Elder.
No one knew better than them how difficult it was to reach the eighth level of the Ascension Supremacy Pagoda.
"Should we inform Master Xing Yun?"
Hu Qiang said in a low voice with a solemn expression.
"No need. Grandmaster Xing Yun knows what he's doing."
Tang Weiguo shook his head slowly and said, "Our mission is to wait for Yao Qiong here and protect her when she comes out."
"Protect her safety?" Hu Qiang was slightly startled, then said, "This is Star Nebula Academy. Could it be that there are people who dare to behave atrociously here?"
Since the establishment of Nebula Academy, no one had ever dared to behave atrociously in Nebula Academy.
Even some Earth Supremes would have to be respectful when they entered, not daring to act rashly.
Over time, many students and instructors of Nebula Academy had the misconception that no one would make a move against Nebula Academy.
"The real battlefield is not here."
Taking a deep breath, Tang Weiguo said, "Grandmaster Xing Yun will do everything possible to protect the Nebula Academy. However, if Grandmaster Xing Yun doesn't have time to spare, we will also fight a bloody battle."
Thump!
Hu Qiang's heart skipped a beat.
Was there really someone who dared to behave atrociously in Nebula Academy?
The more Hu Qiang thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible.
With a cold expression, he said in a deep voice, "Dean Tang, in my opinion, we should quickly transfer the students. As the saying goes, where there's life, there's hope."
Hu Qiang was not a pedantic person. After Tang Weiguo said a few words, he completely understood.
In the past, because of Grandmaster Xing Yun's deterrence, many forces did not dare to casually step into Nebula City.
However, a month ago, someone spread the news that Grandmaster Xing Yun suffered a serious injury when he was trying to break through to the third stage of the Ninth Grade Alchemist.
It was because of this that the enemies joined forces to attack Nebula Academy.
"Those warriors who signed up for the alchemy assessment …"
Hu Qiang frowned and pointed at the warriors who signed up for the assessment outside of Nebula Academy. "Should we evacuate them now?"
"No need. The enemy's target is Grandmaster Xing Yun and the people of Nebula Academy, not the geniuses who signed up." Tang Weiguo shook his head and said.
"What about the geniuses of Nebula Academy?"
Hu Qiang asked again.
"Aside from Yao Qiong, everyone else is hiding in the secret chamber of Nebula Academy. As long as there's even the slightest disturbance, they will be transported to every corner of the Pill Formation Continent."
Tang Weiguo was very patient. After all, this concerned the life and death of Nebula Academy.
At this time, every Earth Sovereign would be of great use to the Nebula Academy.
"When Yao Qiong comes out of the Yuzun Pagoda, you'll be responsible for taking her away and moving the remaining students into the Death Chamber. I'll be responsible for bringing up the rear."
After thinking about it, Tang Weiguo still felt that they should move the students away.
As the saying goes, it's better to be safe than sorry.
If those people went crazy and attacked Nebula Academy, the consequences would be unimaginable!
"But …" Hu Qiang opened his mouth and said.
"No buts. I'm the Vice Dean. My words are orders!"
Tang Weiguo said coldly.
"Alright." Helpless, Hu Qiang could only nod and said, "After I move the students away, I'll immediately come back to kill the enemies with you!"
Swish!
Suddenly, the seventh floor of the Yuzun Pagoda cracked open and a figure shot out.
"It's Yao Qiong!"
"The one on the seventh floor is Yao Qiong. Doesn't that mean that the one on the eighth floor is that brat?"
"How can that brat be so abnormal? He can even reach the eighth floor."
"Amazing. In my opinion, he should be recruited into Nebula Academy before him."
The exclamations of the crowd did not affect Hu Qiang.
His figure flashed out, and when Yao Qiong fell to the ground, he caught her firmly.
"Don't say anything. Come with me."
Seeing that Yao Qiong was about to speak, Hu Qiang hurriedly transmitted his voice, "It's not safe here. You need to leave as soon as possible."
As he spoke, Hu Qiang brought Yao Qiong towards the depths of Nebula Academy.
"Where do you think you're going?!"
Originally, Cold Steel Pillar would not stop Hu Qiang from leaving with Yao Qiong.
Because his mission was to kill Ning Yue and provoke a conflict with Nebula Academy.
But just a minute ago, he received an order from the upper echelons of Divine Emperor Palace.
Surround Yao Qiong at all costs and ensure that Yao Qiong is killed!
Because in a minute, the upper echelons of Divine Emperor Palace would arrive at Nebula Academy!
Under this premise, if Hu Qiang wanted to take Yao Qiong away, Cold Steel Pillar would definitely not stand idly by.
With a flash, Cold Steel Pillar turned into a shadow and charged towards Hu Qiang at an extremely terrifying speed.
"You dare!"
Tang Weiguo shouted, clenched his fists and punched at Cold Steel Pillar.
"You dare to behave atrociously in Nebula Academy? Kill without mercy!"
